LINING AND PULP CAPPING. THE THERA WAY.

Liquid Apatite at Your Fingertips

Protective liner: TheraCal LC can be used as a protective liner under restorative materials, cements or other base materials.

Pulp capping agent: TheraCal LC may be placed directly on pulpal exposures after hemostasis is obtained. It is indicated for any pulpal exposures, including carious exposures, mechanical exposures or exposures due to trauma.

Resin-Modified Calcium Silicate Pulp Protectant/Liner

TheraCal LC is a light-cured, resin-modified calcium silicate liner designed for use in direct and indirect pulp capping, as a protective liner under composites, amalgams, cements, and other base materials. It can be used as a replacement for calcium hydroxide, glass ionomer, RMGI, IRM/ZOE and other restorative materials. TheraCal LC performs as a insulator/barrier and protectant of the dental pulpal complex.

TheraCal LC’s syringe delivery offers controlled and precise placement in all deep cavity preparations. TheraCal LC is easy to manipulate without running or slumping and its light-cured ability permits immediate placement of a definitive restorative material.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES COMPARISON

TheraCal LC’s water sorption facilitates ion exchange, which leads to significant calcium release. What’s more? All of this occurs without TheraCal LC being soluble!

UNIQUE HYDROPHILIC MATRIX

The proprietary formulation of TheraCal LC consists of tri-calcium silicate particles in a hydrophilic monomer that provides significant calcium release* making it uniquely stable and durable as a liner or pulp cap-ping material.
